Why log to text files?
Text logs are an open format. Your data is not locked within a vendor's proprietary database
Text logs have a low overhead. No need to run heavy database engines consuming valuable CPU and RAM resources.
Text logs are human readable and easy to search or grep.
Text logs are often accepted as evidence in legal proceedings.
Text logs compress well.
There are a large number of log analysis and reporting apps available that can parse text logs, such as WebSpy Vantage.
